M. p. Lutz, Of Bloomsbury, was elected
Chairman, and J. L. John, Of Millville Sec.
retary and Treasurer of the County Com
nittee for the ensuing year. After some
discussion the following preamble and res.
olutions were unanimously adopted.
WHEREAS, We humbly express our graf
itude to God for the growth OF the Prohibi'
| tioD party and ask his aid in our struggle
with the drink traffic, the source of nine
tenths Of all the crime and misery Of the
country. Therefore,
| Resolved, 1. That we denounce liquor
| license laws, either high or low, as being
utterly incompetent to decrease the evils
of intemperance, and demand the constitu
tional prohibition OF the manufacture, i'm
portation and sale of all intoxicating
| liquors as a beverage.
Resotped, g. That we affirm our alleg
ance to the National Prohibition party, be
lieving it to be the only party 10 whom We
can look for such legislation.
Resolped. 8 That we heartily endorse
thework of the w. G. T. U. and all SINH
lar organizations having in view the over
throw Of the rum power and the protection
of the youth of our land.
| Resolved 4. That we recommend
remonstrance against license to sci
| liquor, as we believe that liquor, as {
beverage, is unnecessary as well as wrong
especially as the Judges of the Courts ar,
required by law to consider the numbe
and character of the petitioners and refus,
license where majority of the men ant
| women of ward, township or borough
declare 1t to be unnecessary the womans
names, as petitioners, having by law tn
same weight as those of the men.
Resolved. 8. That this convention con
siders it, at the present time, unwise t.
nominate county ticket, as it will incu
expense without producing any definite re
suit towards the suppression of the liquo
traffic, deeming strict adherance TO In
principles of the Prohibition party.

FOOT WEAR.

In buying Boots, Shoes, Slip
pers, or any other kind of foo.
wear, people will go where they
can find the largest assortment
to select from, and where they
can get the best goods for the
least money. Such advantages
can be found at the best in an
establishment that deals exclu-
sively in foot wear. Almost ev-
cry general store keeps a few
boxes of boots and shoes, but at
Dentler's shoe store the stock
consists entirely of this line of
goods. Boots, Shoes, Slippers,
Pumps, Rubbers, Sandals, Gal
ters, &C., for Men, Women and
Children, occupy shelf after
shelf, and even the floor of the
large room is s.ocked with boxes.
Here the customer can find all
styles, all sizes, all prices, from
the heaviest COW hide, to the
finest kid, with prices as low as
can be found anywhere for the
same class of goods. We are
provided with implements for
removing pegs, and for resetting
buttons, so that our goods are
made comfortable, and made to
fit any foot.
Among the special lines are
the w. l.. Douglas Shoe for gen.
tlemen, Curtis & Wheeler's La
dies Fine Shoes, the celebrated
Tewanda Boot, for men and boys,
No trouble to show goods.

One of the prettiest games of ball ever
played at Athletic Park was played Satur-
day last, between Bloom and the Danville
State League Club, whereby Bloom lost its
first game this season. Up to the seventh
inning the score stood to 3 in favor of the
visitors, and then excitement was at its
highest. When the 7lh inning brought 3
more tallies for Danville, the Bloom mana
ger thought best to put Glisson in the box;
in the last inning Glissnn lost control of
his curves and the visitors pounded him
out Of the box for total of 13 runs. The
feature of the game was the work of both
batteries, while Ent covered first base in a
way creditable to any professional player.
"Bud" takes special liking TO foul hys. In
out field Housel glorifed himself in his &C
curate throwing, as also did Ferguson,
when he cut off what every one thought a
home run. Hagenbuch's errors were ex-
cussble, for he accepted difficult chances.

An exchange says, make your own hand
grenades. Fill ordinary quart wine bottles
with saturated solution of common salt,
and place them where they will do the
most good in case of need. They will be
found nearly as serviceable as the expen'
siye hand grenades you buy, Should
fire break out tmow them with force sumo
tent to break them into the centre OF the
fire. The salt will form coating on what
ever object the water touches, and makes
It nearly incombustiole, and 1t will prove
effectual In many cases, where a fire is jus'
starting, when the delay in procuring watei
might be fatal"
